Hi to Ohio

You know what they say...there's nothing cuter than a baby in uniform!
Ayden loves to mimic everything anybody does, including dressing up like Daddy.

So, Patrick officially survived and actually excelled at Officers Training, and we are now moved and settled in Ohio. My Mom and I came up a week early to find a place and get acclimated. Patrick joined us and immediately started work. All is going well so far, and we are really glad to be out of a hotel, out of boxes, and back into a routine. We have been enjoying beautiful lower humidity and cooler summer weather. This area is very pretty with rolling hills and tons of trees which will make for an amazing Fall, something we haven't seen in 4 years. The people are super friendly and the ward is great. There are 80 kids under the age of 2, and we are into the second over flow each week. There is a nice new outside mall with live music and fountains for the kids to play in. We found a delicious Mexican place, so I guess we are set.

Found a great condo that is bigger with a garage...critical for those snowy months!


Ayden was the only one enjoying the unpacking.

Is the bear getting smaller?

She just loves to roll around on this bear to feel the soft fur on her skin.

Ah! Those boots! I made Garrett get up off the couch to come over and look at that cute picture. It was a lot of effort, but I think he thought it was worth it.

Ayden is growing up without me. I can't stand to be apart from you guys! Can't wait until your visit in September!!
